Thank you for the answer

So why put two headlights on the vehicle ( Covered ) ?
I suppose the lid tilts..That's right ?
This kind of special light was used in allied vehicles ?

Yes, I know

But I don't understand the sense of mounting two headlights ( Covered ) in the car, if they always use the Notek light for night drive

notek was for night driving in convoy, as not to "light" the vehicle in front, and become visible from the air
the headlight covers were used when traveling alone (one vehicle)
